Child Care/Nannying, Non-Profit

Position: Weeks Volunteer Program With Children America Position/s - Position: 2 - 8 WEEKS VOLUNTEER PROGRAM WITH CHILDREN IN SOUTH...

Skills Needed: Role of the Volunteer

The volunteer has the opportunity to do a multitude of things such as help the “tias” organizing activities, play with the children, help to feed them during lunch time, help in the cleaning process and much more! This help is invaluable for both the children and the organization.

The standards of living of some of the children takes a toll on their behavior as well. They can sometimes act violently, thus adults have to try to subdue them in case of fights and explain to them that violence is not the solution. One way to help them release their anger and energy is through art or sport activities. The volunteer represents an adult and responsible person they can trust and refer to in case of problem or emergency.

What can you learn as a volunteer?

Volunteer can share their own experience and ideas with local staff. Different viewpoints represent a wealth for this place and all initiatives are well received. Volunteers benefit from the company of children, who always have energy and whose smiles make us happy every day. This project is perfect for those studying careers in Pedagogy, Psychology or Social Work and it is also a place to put your Spanish skills into practice and learn from a new culture.

How does your work impact on the community?

The volunteer is like a new member of the family, whose main role is to play with the children and try to give them any additional support they might need. In such full houses, there is also a multitude of things to do such as helping with the food, cleaning or picking the children up from school or kindergarten. Every day is different and so are the children. Some of them can live there for a very long time, and others only stay during a time of hardship. Thus, it is necessary to be attentive, understanding and to have imagination to set up various activities and entertain the children. The volunteer’s personal experience and different culture makes them an important influence for the children as well because it provides them with an opportunity to learn.
